The hunt for 50,000 roses
Did you know that 7 out of 10 Filipinos report feeling stressed regularly1? While it's easy to blame our fast-paced world, it doesn't make stress any easier to live with. This is why self-care is now a popular concept aimed at prioritizing one's well-being.
Self-care that makes scents
From calming pillow sprays to aromatherapy laundry detergents, Filipinos are discovering scent as a form of self-care. Our sense of smell is directly connected to the part of the brain responsible for emotions and memory, which explains why certain aromas can reset a stressful day.
Citrus scents, for example, are known for their uplifting and energizing effect. Peppermint's fresh scent can help improve concentration and mental clarity. Rose is a classic floral fragrance that has been shown to have a relaxing effect, reducing stress and inducing calmness.
The profound effect of scent has been captured in the rosiest rose bango takeover the country has ever seen. The Rose Bango Hunt is a recently concluded campaign where Surf gave away 50,000 rose-scented fabric flowers nationwide. This massive, rosy fragrance movement put the scent of roses in the hands (and clothes) of families from Luzon to Mindanao.
From May 19 to 25, Surf painted the country with the scent of roses through rose carts vibrantly adorned with rose-scented fabric roses. Public markets, transport terminals, offices, and the most unexpected corners of barangays rode the tidal wave of rosy scent as Surf Rose Fresh-scented roses and powder packs were distributed.
Surf stirred excitement for the national hunt for roses by dropping daily clues on where to find the next location of their rose cart through social media.
Watch how Surf swept the country with the stress-relieving scent of 50,000 roses in this video:
Catch a whiff of the rosiest rose bango with Surf Rose Fresh in a store near you, or their official online stores.

Jessie J discloses early breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has disclosed that she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer. On Instagram, the 'Price Tag' hitmaker shared a video of herself detailing her diagnosis, which she discovered before her latest song 'No Secrets' came out. 'Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word early,' Jessie shared. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period." According to Jessie, she wanted to be open about her condition to help herself process what she's going through. 'I just wanted to be open and share it. One, because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' Jessie shared. 'I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much. Similar and worse." Jessie also shared that she will 'disappear for a bit' after the Summertime Ball to undergo breast surgery. 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery and I will come back with massive t— and more music," she said. In the comment section, celebrities such as Katy Perry, Leona Lewis, Rita Ora, Little Mix member Leigh Anne Pinnock, expressed their support for Jessie. 'Love you! We all are sending healing energy to youuu…" wrote Katy. "I'm praying for you you've got this. My mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough so I'm here for you," said Rita. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide and 670,000 deaths in 2022 alone. In the Philippines, one in four Filipinos develop breast cancer, making it one of the countries with the highest incidences of breast cancer globally. —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News
